Introduction
Enterprise Manager allows you to monitor, manage, and analyze Storage Centers and
FluidFS clusters from a centralized management console. The Enterprise Manager Data
Collector stores data and alerts it gathers from Storage Centers and FluidFS clusters in an
external database or an embedded database. Enterprise Manager Clients connect to the
Data Collector to perform monitoring and administrative tasks.
This guide describes how to install and configure required Enterprise Manager
components. For information about installing optional Enterprise Manager components,
see the Enterprise Manager Administrators Guide.
